Collector Insights

Cubone is a Fighting-type Pokémon with 40 HP. It has two attacks: Snivel and Rage. Snivel costs one Colorless Energy and reduces damage by 20 if Cubone is attacked by the opponent’s next turn, provided the Defending Pokémon is Cubone. Rage requires two Fighting Energy and deals 10 damage plus 10 additional damage for each damage counter on Cubone. The card includes a Lightning resistance of -30 and a Grass weakness of ×2. Its flavor text describes a Pokémon that never removes its skull helmet, hiding its true face. The card was released in the Base Set 2, designed by artist Mitsuhiro Arita. It has a retreat cost of one Colorless Energy and is part of the Base series.

Because it never removes its skull helmet, no one has ever seen this Pokémon's real face.
